Hello Peter, The cemetery is ROOKWOOD. Not ROCKWOOD. It might make a difference when looking it up on the internet and just in case anyone else wants to look it up. I am an old Sydney girl of 56 years. And have lived in Tasmania for the last 3 years and visit Sydney OFTEN. I came to Australia in 1951 as a 12 year old. Cheers, Hilda Fudge-Cooper on the North West Coast of Tasmania. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Ferreira" <peterferreira@rogers.com> To: "FOWLER list" <FOWLER-L@rootsweb.com>; <DORSET-L@rootsweb.com>; "NSW Australia List" <aus-nsw@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 12:11 PM Subject: [DOR] Robert FOWLER (1865 - 1927) migrated from Dorset to New SouthWales > I seek to make contact, or to share FOWLER family history notes, with any > descendant or researcher of the family of my cousin, Robert FOWLER. > > Robert FOWLER junior, was a son of Robert FOWLER senior and Mary Ann > Phelps > SYMES, farmers and land owners in Winterborne Whitchurch, Dorset.
